A $2 sticker defeats the one feature holding Meta’s ‘pervert glasses’ together

Meta's Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses feature a recording light meant to alert bystanders when filming, but inexpensive LED-blocking stickers can disable this warning without triggering tamper alerts. Despite Meta's ban on harassing videos filmed with these glasses, many such videos remain online, and Meta is exploring new detection methods. Meanwhile, sales of smart glasses continue to grow significantly, with Meta selling about 7 million pairs in 2025.
